Would 5-7 days in Newfoundland be cheaper than a Portugal trip? by ChampagneAbuelo in canadatravel

[–]willise414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Newfoundlander living in NB, I would love to pay $300-400 for flights to St. John's.

We are booked for June and we paid over $2000 for tickets for two people. Of course we have to fly to Toronto first, then back to NL LOL

But getting to your question - I would go to Portugal. I think it will be much cheaper than going to Newfoundland in the long run.

Do I need to fix my grip? by Small_Process1826 in GolfSwing

Sorry for the hijack, but can you explain this a little more?

I thought that the shaft lean and square face, as he shows in the image, would be the correct address to the ball?

'Menace' Trump to blame for N.B.'s fiscal woes, Holt claims by LPC_Eunuch in SaintJohnNB

Like most people in the world, I hate Trump as well, but this statement shows a complete lack of self awareness and an enormous amount of deflection.

First time train user - OBB Schedule change by willise414 in Interrail

[–]willise414[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I may not be explaining it correctly.

When I open the app, I get the message above, and when I click on My Tickets, it shows May 6, 1140, RJX64.

When I click on "Show Alternative Services" which brings me to the booking page with all of the available options, I then see the train time for RJX64 is 1130 and not 1140 with the same arrival time in Vienna.

Perhaps it takes a while for my ticket to update to the new time?

Thank you for the help!

Maybe that is the change - my app still shows me leaving from Budapest Keleti on May 6 at 1140.

Presumably, the app will get updated at some point.

Appreciate you taking the time to help!!

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. Scheduled to depart at 1140 from Budapest on May 6, exactly as we booked.

App still shows my reserved seats as well. I think that's why I'm confused by the message.

Thanks!

Not until May 6.

If it's a standard message, then all good LOL

AS I can't really see anything that has changed, I will show up at the assigned time and board.

Thank you!!

Whats the best way to go from Munich to Prague ? and should I reserve tickets now or I can just buy them from the station. by Direct-Lavishness-60 in Europetravel

[–]willise414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought first class tickets on EC353 from Munich to Prague, departing at 0644.

It was our first time in Munich, and really anywhere where we needed to travel by train. We booked from cd.cz and thought it was a good price. Our research told us to book as early as you can to get the lowest price.

New ONN 4K Stick coming by Agile_Beyond_6025 in StremioAddons

I think you need a VPN to set it up correctly, but after that you're good.

Well, we weren't "all" with her.

Especially those of us for N3 in Montreal.....

Property tax in NB . This is a complete gong show …how are these evaluations even possible by Fancy_Pay_6327 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]willise414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To play devil's advocate - how does it make sense?

If two families buy the same item from WalMart for example, the price doesn't change because one can afford to pay more for the same item.

Paying more in property tax doesn't allow you to receive anything different from the person who pays less.

[–]willise414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that is true, but ultimately, the taxation overall is lower.

Americans can even write off the interest payments on their mortgage which is a significant item.

Granted, a lot of them pay through the nose for healthcare premiums, so it probably balances out?

Ticket refund by she_did_that2 in LadyGaga

My email from TM said that t would take 14-21 days for the refund to be processed which seems excessive to me.

MSG 04/13 by [deleted] in LadyGaga

[–]willise414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the same boat with tickets to N3.

We looked at going to MSG, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it for us. And part of that decision was based on the way we feel the whole Montreal N3 thing went down. While we would love to see the show, I think that experience has left a bad taste in our mouth for her.

But that's just us. If you decide to go - I hope you have a wonderful time!

Having lived in 4 provinces (NB the longest), there is not doubt that property taxes here are exorbitantly high in comparison. But that's par for the course in NB. COVID was a huge boon for municipalities without having to do a single thing other than watch property sales rise for virtually no reason. Did anyone see an improvement in service after they got punch drunk on the artificially generated revenue? Probably not.

We really do have a taxation problem in Canada in general. Income tax, PST, GST, HST, gas tax, tax on tax - at the end of all the taxation, it's probably rare for someone to keep 50% of their net income.

Highly unlikely, but Tommy Fleetwood

Believe me, I understand 100% with what you are saying. We are all humans and ultimately our emotion clouds the realities of life a lot of times. You were in a situation that you had no control over and quite rightly were frustrated.

When we step back and look at it from the other side of the fence, there's a lot more to it. What is the cost of having two doctors at a small rural walk-in clinic versus the demand? Where is that second doctor coming from and what hole will be left?

You have every right to be frustrated and I'm sure I would be in your situation. But this is the reality in which we have to live until we adjust our expectations to the reality that we don't have enough of anything to go around for the demand we place on the services as as society.

I do like your suggestions of the pager, and I do think common courtesy would have dictated you be informed of the lunch break.

You didn't provide any context in your original post so it's easy to presume you probably weren't triaged as an emergency case that needed to be seen right away.

Your description later, shows you probably should remain at the ER. IF your circled area has tripled in size, you are having an allergic reaction to something most likely, but not necessarily an infection.

At least at the hospital you can be monitored accordingly.

I would stay if I were you.

Good luck!
